Humboldt Hill

Famous quotes containing the words humboldt and/or hill:

    Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.
    —Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)

    This sanguine coward, this bed-presser, this horse-back-
    breaker, this huge hill of flesh.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
